Heard a loud pop in the back of knee while jogging. Started pain. How to get relief from pain?

A loud pop in the back of my knee while jogging..Severe pain for several minutes..Still have aching pain, but sometimes pain almost gone..I have continued consistent pain behind knee and more when straighten knee..Some specific point pain at the top of the fibula.

The symptoms you have mentioned sounds like arthritis however i would require information like is there any swelling at knee joint. how is the temperature of that joint. any trauma to that joint? any specific time of pain? any relieving or aggravating factors?

There is minor if any swelling. No change in temperature. Isn't it likely it is a ligament, if so can it heal on its own with rest? No trauma, other than the intial pop occured while jogging...

HiThanks for the reply

The problem seems to be an injury to the ligament with stretch. An X-ray would be quite helpful to assess the ligament. if the there is mild inflammation it would heal itself but orthopedic consultation is recommended for proper assessment. anti inflammatory drugs can used for pain.
